US Politics and Trump Category IV - I've never even heard of one that big before

[Unhappy438]

CNN is fake news.

Oh, i hope you prepare yourself for Temujin and Emjay, they gonna have a meltdown.

 

[Unhappy438]

Yes, those anti-trigger pills do make you sleepy
Anyway... I think you'll find it was you having a meltdown over a fox video

Whats with the spam posting of Fox News? That stuff will rot your brain.

Damn its too late

Isn't Ailes dead years back already? No clue about CNN founder(is he even still alive?) ... regardless, imo, its not about the old senile 'founders'(either dead already or close enough), its about who's in charge, eg. Zucker, hes the man pulling the strings and giving orders at cnn... all trump all the time, its all the channel is for nowadays as its been for years now, take down trump, is it personal? or political? fark knows, but thats all it is, orangemanbad.

I'm talking about the actual purpose behind the inception of these businesses.

CNN is a news network. I agree it's left leaning, most of the rational world is but it exists to broadcast news stories.

Fox exists purely to spin narrative for GOP interests. That is why it was founded. Seriously, dig around it's easy to find this info, judging by your posts here it will probably shock you to learn how it came to be. It actually started as a trend on C-Span with players like Newt Gingrich and snowballed from there - fascinating tbh, no matter what your political ideology is.

No, get your head out your arse, it used to exist to broadcast news stories... those days are long gone... now its people like lemon and crazy manlady expressing their personal orangemanbad opinions pretending its news and getting away with it cos the big boss demands it. Which is why they've tanked. People see through it which is why they are down to what, 500k/600k daily viewers? They've turned into a joke under zucker with his war on trump... it is not a broadcaster of news, hasn't been for a few years now, its all trump trump trump, only diehard orangemanbaders watch it, normal everyday people now get their news elsewhere

POTUS behaving the way DJT does is news dude.

Incidentally: as at the current time there is nothing Trump related on the front page of CNN. You need to scroll down to 'Opinion' and there's something about Kushner there.

Sorry, I missed that - don't recognise the uniformed guy.

Point remains: Trump is an utterly farcical spectacle as POTUS, that's going to make headlines. That fact does not a MSM conspiracy make. In point of fact he regularly tries to get in the headlines to create diversion from his many crimes. You cannot, under these circumstances, claim that a news network is biased for printing news about Trump.

That's Vindman - the decorated war hero trump is busy smearing.
Good days, eh?

Per Google:

"CNN is an American news-based pay television channel owned by AT&T's WarnerMedia."

"Fox News is an American conservative pay television news channel."

One is the world's first 24hr news channel founded by Ted Turner, a lifelong media man and Reese Schonfeld also founder of such provocative properties as The food Network.
The other is a right wing fascist mouthpiece founded by Rodger Ailes, a man who served the Nixon, Reagan and Bush administrations and is linked to sexual harassment claims, and Rupert Murdoch a renowned right wing propagandist and all round schit head.

Need more? I'd recommend you look up the This American Life episode that lays out the motivation and early days of Fox (complete with interviews of all the major players) hint: it was set up in the wake fo the Nixon scandal to manage the narrative should the right need to in future but I'll just save us all the effort and accept that you will consider it a "leftist conspiracy" and just carry on with my day.

You should go watch the latest CNN expose by Project Vertias. Maybe you will learn something.

But, I won't be holding my breath.

And here it is once again. He cannot even fathom opinions and positions which run counter to his.

This is why it's a waste of time @theratman

A meltdown over what exactly?

What Emjay? You've made it your entire job in this thread to call out left leaning sources, now you are just going to pretend its not a great way to carry on a conversation ??? Hilarious

I have called out instances of fake reporting, not so? Are you saying I should not?

I don't even understand what point you are trying to make. If Fox / Daily Wire / Dailly Caller / Federalist, etc have posted incorrect articles, there is NOTHING stopping you or anyone else from raising those issues.

 

[Unhappy438]

A meltdown over what exactly?

You dont know sarcasm?

 

[Emjay]

You dont know sarcasm?

Your post makes zero sense. Sarcasm usually works best when the message is clear.

Why would I have a melt down over someone stating CNN is Fake News?

You wouldnt, hence i was being sarcastic. You would clap and applaud such a statement. Let someone say the same thing about Fox News and you will tell us.

That's just not a great way to carry on the conversation.

Clear enough?

Please show me where I had a melt down over someone calling Fox News fake. Everyone can call them fake. I don't care what the people here think. And I really don't have time to get into a stupid argument with people I don't really care about. Do you think I am going to stop reading my news sources, or stop posting them? No one else will, and they should not, so it's just empty posturing as usual.

Maybe you should just pipe down with your stupid little narratives and side swipes, and contribute towards the topic at hand?

Meltdown is a strong word for you, its more for Temujin. You certainly changed your narrative about the media when it came to them however.

aybe you should just pipe down with your stupid little narratives and side swipes, and contribute towards the topic at hand?

Pointing out your hyper partisanship is contributing to the topic at hand.

For someone who keeps trying to convince us they dont care, you sure do care a lot.

Its plain to see you do care and you particularly care about the media narrative.

Asked and answered. You've been shrieking like Lindsey Graham at the Kavanaugh deposition since joining the thread bro.

 

[Emjay]

Because politifact doesn't have a left wing bias itself.

I just went through CNN's page, and there is nothing there on the Covington Kids, or Russiagate at all (not to mention anything else). We are still waiting for the promised evidence that there is proof of Trump's collusion with Russia, right?

Out of the loop, I need to do some reading, so thanks

I am interested in the impact of media on the narrative, and current political discourse. I find a lot of it downright hilarious. And I like to share information I get. What you do with it, or don't do with it, I don't give two flying Fs about.
